While in Richmond he exerted him
elf earnestly in facilitating the exchange
of Confederate prisoners,
specially those from his district, a#
vi 11 be seen in a communication from
?apt. John A. Hinnant, a gallant Confederate
from this County.
As the war progre?sed, and the coils
?f the Federal anaconda were drawn
nore and more tightly around th?
weakening Confederacy, Mr. Boyce
ecame convinced of the hopelessness
if the attempt to establish a Southern
Confederacy. After long consultation
pith his friends he published a very
.ble letter in the latter part of 1864
eviewing the situation as be saw it,
md advocating acceptance of the best
erms that could be made instead of
isking entire destruction. This "Boyce
etter" occasioned great excitement.
>oth North and South. It was com
sended by a large number who, with
he writer, saw 110 hope of succets.
t w:is bitterly denounced by a majorty
of the people in this State and
?ther portions of the Confederacy,
rho still were confident, and saw in
he letter a disastrous blow, no less
lotent than the fall of Vicksburg or
he loss of Gettysburg.
A meeting was held in the Court
louse in "Winnsboro, in which
peeches were made in opposition to
Jr. Boyce and his policy, after which
if? made an elaborate defense. He
lad been taunted with possessing
uperior "wisdom." As he concluded
tis speech he walked across the floor,
md standing before the speaker who
iad taunted him said (o him, "Before
he spring birJs warble you will
ee the fruit ot your wisdom."
?he meeting was against JMr. Boyce.

A philosophic retrospect of this exiting
episode can only make it apparent
that if the Confederacy still had
:hances of success, the letter was most
jernicious, as destroying the morale
>f the armies and people. If the
:auee was doomed the sooner this fact
vas felt the better it wa* for the South.

a rigid search wa? instituted and -the

where he perhaps found that he was
being closely pursued, dismounted,
turned the mule loose and made his escape.
A few minutes later the mule

at once; it produces natural, guiet sleep
by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cheruo awakes as "blight as a batton."
It is very pleasanl to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, allays -|
all pain, relieves wind, regulates the I
bowels, and is the best known remedj foi J
diarrhoea, whether arising irom teetnmg 01 y
other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle.
